Well, I’ve got the same problem. No power to my “pre-wired” camera. Guess I’m not surprised. Most of my switches are incorrectly identified and in the wrong place. Even my satellite connections were wired incorrectly: Bedroom was living room and living room was bedroom. That’s two hours of my...

No. It was in the shop most of the winter. I called them before I went to pick it up and they said no water in the door. I said "What!" I went to the shop after it had been raining for days and thought, well, it will be full of water but no! Could not believe it. Got it back to the...

I checked with Pullrite and they did not have a problem with the MORryde pinbox. If you think about it, MORryde cushions the movement on the bolts, like it cushions your ride.

Really good points. Now that you mention it, the Andersen was a much tighter fit on the kingpin than the Pullrite. I had to use WD-40 and some wiggling to get the Andersen adapter on, but not the Pullrite. You may be on to something. The design of the Pullrite adapter is really very...

Yes, keeping MORryde. The hitch was not causing the issues with the MORryde pinbox or vice versa. Actually, the issues I had with MORryde were with two different hitches and trucks. MORryde sent me a new, heavier spring but I did not get it in time before my last trip. I have it now and...

The failure was with the two bolts that surround the kingpin.

I replaced my Anderson with the Pullrite after it failed in a minor collision. So having used both hitches, I can say that there is not a significant difference. Anderson puts the socket on the pinbox and the ball on the hitch. Pullrite puts the ball on the pinbox and the socket on the hitch...

Well, not good news at all for Pullrite. I pulled about 70 miles to the shop. Removed the pinbox adapter so the shop could move my trailer around as necessary. I discovered that both of the bolts that secure the pinbox adapter to the kingpin were deformed. I called Pullrite and they said I'm...

Ordered the new spring from MORryde. They offered me dealer cost which was very kind of them. I have high expectations that this will resolve the back and forth movement. The spring is rated for up to 23,000 lbs but the pin box is still rated at 18K which is the gross weight for my trailer...

Thanks for the pep talk. I'll do it!

I spoke to MORryde. Looks like I'm going to order a larger spring, the largest they have, which is one up from my current spring. The cost is $199.

I have the MorRyde rated at 18K and I'm not happy with it. My trailer is rated for 18K and I'm probably running at 17K. I talked to someone in the campground last week and they have the same problem - horrible chucking. The back and forth bouncing is really bad. I've towed it with an...

This one is new to me. A pin seems to have wiggled its way out and managed to cut a slice through my door. Has anyone else ever seen this one??

I sent them pictures and eventually spoke with them. They were very concerned I wanted money from them. I told them no, I just want to understand the failure and share it with them for their own understanding. I never wanted money or anything like that. My insurance paid for my hitch...

Interesting. What do you think isn't being said or told?

To answer some questions: 1. Yes the hitch was torqued per the specs. No issues with the connection at the pin box or king pin. 2. I would say that the hitch rolled over, then buckled. This is why my new hitch is a Pullrite 2400 attached to a Reese base rail adapter rated at 25K. This will...

I barely tapped the car in front of me. Long story short, this started because the car I hit was run off the road by a tractor trailer (who never pulled over). Anyway, my hitch came off the goose neck and collapsed then my camper rear ended my truck. I don't want to post any pictures and do...

What does your camper weigh? I know the hitch is rated higher, just curious. My Andersen Hitch failed too but I was in a VERY minor fender bender. I really doubt my Curt 24K would have failed, but who knows. I replaced the Andersen with a Reese base rail adapter (for a Ram 3500) and the...

Thanks for the tip with the water heater. I did try the resets but that did not help. I found a great video on YouTube that shows how to troubleshoot each component. That will be this weekend's project - along with the valves. Sorry, but I disagree with you. This is not a dealer issue. My...

Sure. But most of this was not evident until after living in the unit. The leaks were/are behind the wall. The awnings were out when I arrived to do the PDI. I closed them - no problem. Flip light switches on/off, no problem, until you get them out of sequence. It wasn't raining so the...

We have a Madison too. Bought it in SC in June while at Myrtle Beach. Same problems with clothes staying on the rod. Can't keep the doors closed either. Finally, we put binder clips on the locks so they can't jump out of the hole. We do not have a washer/dryer (thankfully) but now I'm...

Thanks Mark. I sincerely appreciate your commiserating response. Misery loves company.

We have been camping for almost twenty years and this is our third 5th wheel. We thought we were doing something good when we moved "up" from the mass produced models. Clearly our expectations were way too high. We bought a 2017 Madison in June of this year while in Myrtle Beach. Here is the...

I towed my Landmark Madison up and over a very challenging mountain full of switchbacks and no problems. On top of that, the next 15 miles of rolling hills in the country was in the process of being repaved - the just milled part of the process. Andersen was still just fine. I've never had a...

Thanks! :cool:

Thank you Doublegranch for that research and the info. I'm expecting my Andersen Hitch tomorrow and was concerned if I needed a special widget/tool to re-torque the top bolt. - - - Updated - - - Thank you JWalker. Do you have any feedback on the "ride"? Was it anymore/less bumpy?

I do the same thing. Use the Swagman XC Cross Country. Love it. Rock solid. The good thing is you can see what the bikes are doing while driving. The bad thing is that if they escape, you'll be the first to run over them...

This is what it looks like. I'll hit the screws with some silicone this weekend. Thanks for the tip.

I did not have to remove the plastic cover. Just hold the magnet for a moment or two in a couple of locations around the bottom right corner, chant a few spiritual incantations, and the light goes out. Did it too many times since I was confident it was a false trip. It wasn't on my Heartland...

Thank you! I'll try it this weekend. :)

Thanks for the feedback. I had the same problem too. You could see daylight from the inside of the cargo bay. Additionally, my friend noticed the gasket was improperly seated. Once fixed, no more water in the cargo bay. My problem now is water trapped inside the door itself. It drains out...

I have a 2017 Madison (30 days old) with a leaking storage door on passenger side. At first, there was a LOT of water in the basement. My friend noticed the gasket was a bit out of place. That seemed to stop the water in the basement. But now, when I open the door, water pours out of the...
